Help with IF THEN Formula

[cdegar01]

I am having trouble with this formula:

=IF([Book2]Sheet1!B1=0,"NA",[Book2]Sheet1!B1)


Typically, if the cell is blank or has a zero in it, it will retur
"NA." Now, however, if the cell to the left of it has a value in i
([book2]sheet1!A1), then it will return a blank and not "NA." If th
cell to the left of it does not have a value, it will return "NA."

This is confusing and frustrating. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Chri

B1 would either be blank or a number. There are no formulas. The thin
is, that formula that I am using works most of the time, but now it ha
decided not to work.

Thanks,

Any chance that there's text in B1?

Lotus 123 and Excel can treat these differently.

Try tools|options|transition tab|
uncheck transition formula evaluation (if it's checked).

In fact, I've unchecked all these transition settings.

One more guess: Are you sure the cell is really blank? Maybe there's a space
character or even just a simple apostrophe (') in it.

If you select that cell and hit the delete key, does your formula evaluate ok?
